HAMILTON, Bermuda (AP) - New England's Pat Noonan injured his hamstring during a 0-0 tie with Costa Rica's Alajuelense in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals Wednesday and will probably miss two games next month for the United States national team.
Earlier in the day, Noonan was among 20 players picked by U.S. coach Bruce Arena for next week's exhibition game against Poland in Germany. Noonan is considered one of the players competing for one of the final spots on the 23-man U.S. World Cup roster, which will be announced in April.
New England was close to scoring on at least a half-dozen occasions but U.S. national team players Taylor Twellman, Clint Dempsey and Noonan could not convert.
